Mountain Biking. Graz Region
Elevation & Ride Feel
Between alpine foothills, rolling hills and wide ridgelines lies a region that approaches mountain biking with real variety.
Alpine sections in the north, panoramic heights around the Schöckl and long routes towards the Lipizzanerheimat come together in extended tours, punchy climbs and flowing descents – spread across the entire Graz Region.
Gravity. Technique. Speed.
This is not just riding – this is real riding. The Graz Region offers trail experiences for those who love curves, value technique and seek speed – from the Schöckl to the lines on the Plabutsch and out into the wider surrounding landscape.
Schöckl Trail Area
The Schöckl is the region’s best-known mountain biking hotspot.
A cable car takes riders comfortably to the top, where flowing lines, technical sections and downhill routes lead from the summit all the way into the valley.
Plabutsch
The Plabutsch is one of the most important local recreation areas around Graz.
The Westside Trails combine authentic trail riding with nature – easy to reach and set right in the green surroundings. Local initiatives such as Bike School Pekoll add valuable know-how and technical training to the riding experience.
Uplands & Alpine Pastures
The Graz Uplands and the Lipizzanerheimat stand for demanding MTB tours with elevation gain, alpine pastures and wide views.
Destinations such as Plesch, Stattegg, Altes Almhaus, Brendlalm and Schenkenberg shape classic mountain biking defined by technique, rhythm and endurance.
Gravel Biking
Long Lines with Momentum
Gravel roads, asphalt and quiet backroads shape gravel biking in the Graz Region. Gentle climbs, long connections and lightly trafficked routes lead through rolling hills, along rivers and across the open countryside.
Here, gravel biking is about distance and rhythm – about steady movement, unhurried progress and a clear view ahead.
Pumptracks & Skills
Play, Technique and Flow
Curves, rollers and small jumps: pumptracks and skill areas are perfect playgrounds for bike enthusiasts. It’s all about balance, technique and flow – whether for warming up, practising skills or simply having fun.
From first rolls to fine-tuning technique, these facilities offer space for beginners, families and experienced riders alike.
A Break Belongs to the Ride
Between Trail and Wide Views
Mountain biking in the Graz Region also means arriving. Stepping off the bike, catching your breath, taking in the view.
A bench by an alpine hut, a cold drink in hand – and the quiet feeling of being exactly where you should be.
